It can’t be helped

💩

There’s no value in you even playing Dark Souls

Use your head more

💩

What are you, an elementary schooler?

Die.

💩

Fuck you

Do you not understand me or is it that you can’t use your head

I hate those N95s, the straps are uncovered and they tangle and rip your hair out, and you’ll be swapping masks frequently these days since you’re gonna go from COVID+ to COVID- and back and forth. The ones at my current workplace are better except for the fact that they press hard on the bridge of your nose and gradually breaking the skin down. And before anyone says, yes I’ve been fit tested, it’s the most comfortable one they offer at my workplace, the circular ones are even worse.

One of my first experiences ever with my Host family in Japan was the mother pulling me aside to point out the Chinese tourists and saying like they were lepers. Legit didn’t understand what the problem was or why I should care.

Self taught myself Japanese and not the “self taught watching anime” but with actual textbooks. Living in Japan for a while really helped solidify a lot of it for me, now I can understand most stuff I’m interested in but technical stuff will still absolutely ruin me. I’ve also given up learning to write, if I can read I can type it out anyway.

One of the things I learned while in high school in Japan was that old Japanese is absolutely cursed and as a foreign kid with like conversational Japanese at best it was impossible to understand. And then I also was left in the dust in math when only years later did I realize I was in a calculus course for first years and I only like 3 years away from calculus in the US as a senior.

Then there was the fun when I’d respond with hm? To clarify a question and the people around me would take it as me agreeing since un counts as a yes.

So many things you take for granted with culture and language that you learn about when learning a new language. Honestly was probably my first step towards who I am today and leaving behind my reactionary teenage self. My world expanded, though not good, trans existence was more acknowledged in Japan to a degree even back when I was there though people would still misgender and be shitty, it helped just seeing people exist. Then one night the family I was staying with started talking about how pretty I’d be if I was a girl and yeah…

What if I jump onto the tracks and die with my family member?

I wouldn’t call it a moral failing of the revolution but an act of necessity to defend themselves from the wolves that would use any one of these children as a symbol of the Russian Empire to revive it with the support of every monarchy in the region. I mean just look at Miami and how bloodthirsty the children of gusanos are for losing their plantations, I can only imagine how bloodthirsty a child denied their right to an empire would be.

The US specifically wanted to avoid the Soviets from entering the Pacific Front because they didn’t want them having any possible claims to Japan and potentially having to split the land akin to Europe. Pretty quickly after the US occupation there was a sizable communist movement seeking to gain power through election where they expected the US to hold up their public statements of freedom and democracy. In the end though the US cracked down on the leadership and essentially destroyed the movement. Though pretty pathetic now, the Japanese communist party still receives a decent chunk of the vote, though obviously nothing to actually disrupt the neoliberal hell.

Saw this pop up at work today and thought it was a bit too on the nose for a parody
